It is currently the smallest liquid fuel tank in the game, containing enough fuel to run the tiny [[LV-1 Liquid Fuel Engine|LV-1]] for just over 15 seconds.

The Oscar-B's mass ratio (5.245) is slightly worse than that of the Round-8 (5.44), and significantly worse than an FL-T or Rockomaxx tank (9). Additionally the oxidizer volume is 0.0094 l short thus the ratio between oxidizer and liquid fuel is not exactly matched. Also, it cannot be attached radially.

Despite its vastly smaller size, the Oscar-B has the same mass ratio and attachment properties as the FL-T, Rockomax, and Kerbodyne tanks, making it suitable in most-any case where marginally more propellant is required.

The Oscar-B Fuel Tank provides fuel to attached liquid fuel engines.

It is currently the second smallest liquid fuel tank in the game, containing enough fuel to run the tiny LV-1 at full throttle for 307.7 seconds. It carries 20% of the capacity of the FL-T200 Fuel Tank.

Despite its vastly smaller size, the Oscar-B has the same mass ratio and attachment properties as the FL-T, Rockomax, and Kerbodyne tanks, making it suitable in most-any case where marginally more propellant is required.

Product description
